Which is the warmest?

You've changed your 'toon'... (chin rubbing emoji).

Jiffy. What are we looking for on there?

In reference to roger's post. Fair play to the person if they had made profit and cashed out, but I'm struggling to believe that someone who has been in here for two years would be having a whinge at cashing out today. Unless they had 1p invested to start. Sniffs of bullshine to me. It would be like me with an average of 19.25 (well slightly less after having my hand forced by IG) seeing the share price go up to a tenner and whining about selling at £7.50. It's bullocks.

Cheers Tilly. I wondered if it would be there. Tax efficient and nice and private and the type of place I would put my money if I had much. lol.

PPS: The more tax efficient the country the better in my eyes.

PS: Absolutely asking out of curiosity as I know (well think) it's not UK and TBH don't blame them either.

Tilly, you might be able to answer this one.

Where are Queeld and Deloan located (which country(ies) are they registered in?

Montmuzard. I'd be thinking it's more likely those who bought in at below 5p who will be dumping. It's up to them, their choice; as long as they haven't been on here over the weekend telling folks to hold for 3 quid and beyond.

Today is the last day for closure of CFDs / Spreadbets and IG will start closing these down. I closed my (long) CFD down today and opened up an ISA, sold at 32 and got back in 31. Feel this is a proper swizz by IG but at least I covered the dealing costs.

Nearly pressed sell at 34 and wish I had as it would have been a few more shares.

There's a good chance that IG's actions will have had some impact on the price as the closures will show as a sell. It's not nailed on that investors have then repurchased as shares.

Got to say that as I don't mind having a bit of whinge when we're in the doldrums.

All opinion, but it feels like the conclusion to all this is not far away at all. Don't think Hoochy's call is possible but I think all long investors will be able to buy the finest wine (and rum) known to humanity when it's announced.

GLA and have a great weekend.

Pacer89. No it didn't.

Agree with both replies. I just tried to rationale that although it's understandable it could be a concern to some I don't think it is.

It has to be remembered that Veles International is a subsidiary of the Veles Capital investment company based in Russia, however the Cypriot / Russian connection is a good sign.

I'm confident the AC sale was a storm in a teacup. GLA

Mikestroud. I must admit I have pondered the AC situation through and do think it's why the SP is where it is today.

My conclusion is whatever the reason for the 'sale', I expect it was for his benefit rather than concerns about the company or FSP. Yep, it's entirely possible the explanation was genuine and he needed the dosh. He may have even owed the dosh, however I consider that unlikely given he'll have earned plenty given his roles over the years, but never say never.

The amount involved should rule out the possibility of owt sniffy going on, it makes zero sense. If it was that and the BOD know the same info as he does then they could have just flogged this for 20p per share. Jack sugar us shareholders could do but they would all have decent cash on the hip at the end of it all. Plus LTHs couldn't complain too much.

It feels like a tax thing to me. I expect there might have been a few cross words about it but ultimately he probably stayed within the parameters so AC was within his rights to do what he wanted, albeit with disapproval. Perhaps the conversation considered the short term impact on the share price but they thought 'so what'; and how do you RNS 'someone knows something about a share that they are going to pay loads of tax on' during an FSP with NDAs?

It took me a while but I'm comfortable with the AC sale and think it was positive thing, not sure the market thinks the same but it doesn't think about this share as much as us on here do. GLA.

Think you are right mjs94. It relates to 2019.

Thanks PP appreciate the kind thoughts. I hope your relatives get back to great health asap.

Whilst I'm in a loving mood I'll apologise to you too for calling you RNS man. :-)

My observation is whilst Hoochy likes to dish out the red cards when there's discussion about people having a tough time of it, he is supportive and compassionate and the share takes a back seat. Plus I don't think he actually puts many folks in the green coffin, he just says it Anne Robinson Weakest Link style.

Anyway, I thought it was really good of him to bring up getting off on the wrong foot and I know I've been a bit antagonistic from time to time.

I'd rather be matey with folks, so here's an online handshake to you too.

Hoochy. Takes a good bloke to make a fresh start with someone especially on a message board; top man (hopefully getting gender right lol). I apologise too pal.

I think because I'm not sitting on massive profits here it is sometimes a bit easy to get prickly when the SP has a lull. Hopefully the fluctuations will be academic in the end.

We all (investors who are long) want the same thing here. I'm a bit of cynic and worry about putting the kibosh on it if I get too positive but I should accept that folks egg their team on in different ways. And I would absolutely genuinely be so happy if you say 'told ya' when the offer comes in.

Really hope your situation had a positive outcome. A few quid from this and it will make a massive difference to everyone.

Have a good weekend. Sending you an online handshake. x

Cheers Hoochy, appreciate that. It's difficult to say the words about your situation as I don't what the outcome was. And whilst we bicker sometimes I can tell you are a good person, so will have been a great support to your loved one.

God bless you and all. X

Thank you Tilly. Very kind and I will pass it on to the Missus.

Speedy recovery to Ian and Portsmouth, and anyone else who might be going through anything like it.

Basher, seems like you are nailing it, keep up the good work.

The one thing I will say from what the Queen has told me about the stuff she's read and that she is still here and feeling well; there might be times when you think you 'don't have time' but she's spoken to folks who were given a few weeks / months who are now years beyond that. Any timescales are based simply on stats, a prescriptive prognosis and usually skewed by the fact that cancer might inevitably get a good proportion of us if we a fortunate enough to reach a ripe old age. There's always time and definitely ways to make more time post diagnosis.

GLA with health and GLA to everyone long on EUA, much as I disagree with him; if Hoochy's prediction comes in we can club together and buy a hospital, where we can all conveless when every needed.

A Scrooge McDuck money bath would be great therapy. :-)

I know my opinion regarding the messages on here about the passing of one of the directors was possibly a bit divisive, and I'm only bringing that up so not to be contradictory with the next one.

Since investing here back in July last year I've read Ian's and Portsmouth's comments, as well as everyone else's, and both come across as genuine folks.

I offer my best wishes to you both and I'm sure you will give it good scrap and win. It's a topic close to my heart as the Queen of Clangers is going through it following a particularly grim diagnosis last year.

As well as the chemo she has properly gone for the supplements, diet and other things which I can only be in awe of as I like booze and the odd bacon butty.

I'm sure she would be happy to share the details of what she's doing so let me know if it's of interest. Stage 4 last year but getting a great reduction in her main tumour and feels good from what she's doing. We doubt it's going to be a cure but anything is worth a shot.

I won't put it on here as I'm no doc and neither is the Missus but she has really done her homework on it all. As I said, let me know if you want info.

There is something called Chris Beat Cancer which I know she gets a lot of her info and inspiration from, I'm absolutely not connected to that at all btw (get fed up of hearing about him sometimes, lol) but it might be worth a check out if you haven't already.
